Herman. I know that..I said that DP or Gas, that's only been driven an average of 800 miles a year! This is what I would do! In other words, it's been sitting around to much! Geez!

I take it that your guessing about a quart, by a puddle or wet area on ground? Do you have your AC's on? I suspect you may have a loose connection at the pump.

The point had to do with FMCAssist & who drives the coach! The rest was just fluff, that we could have done without.

bm02tj. I can't count the times, that I have been over 75 going downhill in West TX. There are a margin of safety, on all things...most of the time my CC is on 63, but there are Interstates that I set it at 73 and still get passed by DP's doing around 80. Prevost and Newell mostly! We will not talk about mpg!

My girl friend's toad is a 2014 Ford Expedition, AF 1 break system and Blue Ox

Wow! It don't matter much, with only 800 miles a year, if it's a DP or Gasser, I would grease every fitting on that coach, until I saw grease coming back out! Also, look at wheel bearings, bushings, hoses and belts! Change the coolant and flush radiator, change fluids in rear end, transmission, break and oil.

The only sound you hear up front, is your generator and it's half the db's of a gas engine.

where in SW LA you at?

Bill. Re-read OP, he's looking at a 2008 Allegro Bus 40 foot. You know Joe loves that bus!

drivintin. Welcome to the Forum! TMI for my needs!

Welcome to the Forum! Need more info from you. If you love your current gasser, why do you need a DP to go full time? Do you plan on doing some or most of the maintenance or are you having some one else do it? Glycol Rig heating is called Aqua Hot.

Linda and I have friends with 5th wheels, trailers and even one casita. We don't have any friction between us, in regards to what we camp in! We all have membership in GS and Escapees! Where the difference lies, is that they have no interest in FMCA. We, the members of FMCA, seem to be the ones that gravitate to GS and Escapees! From reading the many comments, that's been posted here over the last 8 months, I'm beginning to feel that it's a, demographic issue. Keon. How many Class A's or C's was at that campground? In your part of the Country, you might be running into class envy! Since FMCA is none profit...I see no difference in a membership of 500 or 500,000. the year end balance sheet, has still got to read zero, in order to retain our 'Not for Profit" status! If FMCA want to bring down the cost of membership, then delete Assist and let those who want it, pay their own...GS it's $109 a year!

Sorry, but the only thing I got from this Post, is that a DP and a motor cycle were speeding...way above the posted limit in CA on I-40! If you were in AZ, then you where both legal, since the posted limit is 80 mph! Coaches have had a governor in the 86 mph range, for about 20 years now!

Cap. If your coach don't bottom scrape, you can climb it...the problem would lie in the difference off incline between the road to garage and assent angle at ramp to barn. Careful that you don't get high center! I would guess about 20 degrees would be pushing it.

Rick. Just read the comments to Linda...she's cracking up! Herman. She said, she put Patches in the box 1 time as a pup! No, she did not threaten her with a rubber mallet !

John. Doesn't matter...very old, baggy cloths that I drive in! Smell? About like my hands, before I was them. Any type of fuel, to me, smells like money!

Bill. Triple R is a FMCA Chapter, if they are at a Rally with other FMCA members...of course they will invite folks in...Lone Stare and all the others do the same! We all look "Scruffy" at a big Rally! Keon. I think some one or a group of folks, will make personal gain, if we open to all RV's...only explanation that makes any kind of sense! How or Why? I don't know!!!

Foot of the bed...no cat ! Used at night by a dog! She's a 15 year old Rat-Terrier, trained by my Girl Friend ! The Lab holds it at night.

Carla.. Agree with that sentiment...me and mine are more Valuable than stretching the envelope! 7 years is max for me!

Byron. Different strokes!

FIVE. I place mine in my pocket, uncomfortable enough, so I don't forget to replace it ! As to the drilling a small hole, take the cap to your work bench and drill away, a squirt of compressed air will get rid of any cuttings....mine is plastic and metal and not solid. Newer mind Herman. I understood you!

Mine is all electric and have run it on 30A and been very comfortable. As BillA and Herman noted, you learn to be selective at times and yes, kick in generator if your needs arise! Aqua Hot on electric is cheap, on diesel it burns .32 gallons of fuel per hour...but, then if you can afford a new DP, your not concerned about $15 bucks extra...propane also cost $$$.
